Abstract
We calculate energy levels of a six-dimensional bending Hamiltonian for HF trimer using a finite basis representation (FBR) in conjunction with the Lanczos eigensolver. We improve on our previous method [J. Chem. Phys.115, 9781 (2001)] using three techniques: (1) Lebedev's quadrature scheme is used to reduce the size of quadrature grid by a factor of 3.4. (2) Since the barrier separating the two equivalent versions of HF trimer is high and wide, it is a good approximation to confine the bending motion to one well by using sine spherical harmonics basis functions (this reduces the size of the basis by a factor of 8). (3) The sine spherical harmonic basis is contracted for each monomer to generate a very efficient basis. It is shown that the best approach is to combine all the three techniques.
